Simple and Small
Made more progress, base painted the pigeons and cleaned up his Grand rifle but here is a picture of the canteen canvas cover that I just drilled and sculpted with a motor tool... I'm seriously thinking of replacing the entrenching tool with a MiniArt one which is better detailed. Following is...- rtfoe

Nice to have you along Steve, I've done a little bit more since... I started collecting stuff together the fill up a belt made from foil... The rest are tin rations from plastic rod, canteen and canteen mug sculpted from two canteen parts and an unfolded handle from foil. Then I got the radio...- rtfoe

Thanks Tony, Scottie, Andrea and Garry. Yup, that GI is in for a full bombardment. I've done a bit more to the base and fittings... assembled the lamp post. Sanded down all seams. I will create the glass with White Glue after it's painted. I thought of using clear acetate but WG seems a lot...- rtfoe

Got his pose and filled up areas that were missing with putty. The helmet is placed and fixed into position. Started on the pigeons and the clean up of seamlines for all 30 was horrendous for the eyes. Cheers, Wabble- rtfoe

This time no gory decapitation or Village People images but a few days work on getting the figure to stop right and bulked up in the back... Lifted the collar and shoulders with putty together with the blouse sides. At this point I hadn't bulked up the back and back of the trousers legs as...- rtfoe

These are what's been selected from each box... The main guy with major modifications to his torso and deflatening his back. The bench... The accessories... Then of course the radio... And then finally the culprits...all 30 of them... Cheers, Wabble- rtfoe

Simple and Small
Hi guys, My building has been dry lately, the big stuff seems to have stalled so for MALCOM I thought of doing something simple and small. Let's see if you can guess what I'll be making with the items that I have listed in my preparation in this shot... I'm taking a little bit from each box...- rtfoe

Thoughts on 1/144 scale.
Hi Colin, as mentioned in my earlier post about the possibilities with this scale...here's one I could never do with a 1/48 or even 72 scale... Look forward to seeing your builds here and hope there will be a GB for this scale. Cheers, Richard aka Wabble- rtfoe

Richard Wabbles Matchbox 1/72 Siskin Mk.111A
Hi guys, have you got any problems with the format on your HP's. The interface doesn't seem to be HP friendly. Anyway I got started with the office...very bare and since the aperture is so tight, not much can be seen so I'll just add the IP and fit the pilot with one or two ribs on the side...- rtfoe

Richard Wabbles Matchbox 1/72 Siskin Mk.111A
Hi guys, I'll start with the usual customary box and sprue shots to begin with... This has been in my stash for ages and is a made in China copy so I've got to read up on mandarin to work on the destruction sheet. Good thing is picture diagrams are clear. Usual clean molding from Matchbox with...- rtfoe

Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread
Okay since our local Arab GB has been moved to September, I'll try to insert a biplane build if I may. The victim is a Matchbox Siskin... I believe Dave has built this and posted here once before. I'll try not to make a hash if it and keep it stock standard with as little mods if possible...- rtfoe

Oh dear it's a 1/72 Bristol Beveldere
Hi guys, mojo came back and started on the actual extinguisher as this one was too large and probably is some oxygen or propellant if some kind. No pictures of it painted yet but here are the unassembled parts of the other extinguisher... They look like similar components but there is a nozzle...- rtfoe

Christmas dinner
I've had this for the past week since Christmas Eve.... Made a bunch of it, gave a whole lot of it as take-away and still another days helping in the freezer left. That was damn hell of a cooking. Cheers, Wabble -
Weather
My pilot friend whose also a modeler and a member of our group managed to land at Heathrow early this morning (at night London time) and mentioned the strong cross winds and the pattern of planes lining up to land, many making a second round. All other airports were also in the same situation... -
Malayan Emergency 1/35 scale.
Hi Guys, ever since making the fruit that the monkeys were throwing at the convoy, many people had asked me what they were and I told them it was a fictitious fruit but now I can safely say what it is. After a stroll walking Sebastian I chanced upon this... ...they're wild passion fruit and...- rtfoe
